Nice Lookin' Z!!!!


I'd love to have my RB26 sitting in my car instead of on an engine stand in my garage! hehe... I'm just waiting now for my headgasket to come in from Japan then I can get down to business!!!

Your car is jaw dropping. Makes the new Z's look like the sh*t I took this morning.

Ridiculously sweet motor swap, can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep it up, you're a madman! :rock:

And to you and your Z I hereby dedicate my 1000th post!

Well, I finally got a FEDEX tracking number for my headgasket...should be here Tuesday and I can put things back together a week from now.....then IN GOES THE ENGINE! (just to weld the mounts up anyway..heh)


Turbo manifold showed up (I have to get the wastegate modified to a V-band), as did some AN fittings.... also you see all the gaskets about to go on the engine. :)

Yeah.... It make me happy in pants. :thumbsup:
